Like did it make a big difference if the classroom was pre-fabricated? Perhaps it does to a BBC sound recorder!
It does! Love it. Anyone who grew up in UK schools will know a prefab classroom hut. So from that description I immediately know what type of reverb the sound will have.
Crucially, how different it will be from eg. a high ceiling room in a brick building.
Yeah we have something similar in Australia. Pretty much every school when I was growing up had these exact same portable classrooms with the distinctive shitty-looking rectangular roof. Every single school I walked past or played sports against had them too.
I would have thought they'd have something more modern looking these days. But when I Googled around this article from 3 years ago came up with some newish looking ones in the exact same style.
The inclusion of 'pre-fab', as a description is stunning. I never got to use the ones at my school (UK, 1970's) , as they were prefects only.
On the two occasions I was allowed in, I detested them.
And I also detested the particular acoustics - which I didn't realise at the time, but several years in pro-audio, many years later, thankfully taught me much.
